I would like to use jQuery Fancybox or Lightbox to load a contact form from a standard link in a web page. I have reviewed the documents at http://fancybox.net/example but the closest option is the iFrame one and it doesn't work with a standard page link.

My heart is not set on using Fancybox so if there is a better way to have the lightbox effect with a contact form I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.

thanks.

you'll probably want to look into jquery-ui dialog. it's highly customizable and can be made to work exactly like lightbox/fancybox and supports everything you would need for a contact form from a regular link.

there is even an example with a form.
